Being Keto-Adapted Is One Helluva Ride!

It’s Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark’s Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark’s Daily Apple community please contact me here . I’ll continue to publish these each Friday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading! My name is Aaron. I’m 35-years-old. I live in the Lehigh Valley of PA where I am the only custom tailor. This is my story of how an innocent foray in LCHF (low carb, high fat) turned into a full blown keto lifestyle shift. What a journey it’s been and I’m only just getting started! Ok, so let’s get the junk out of the way first. Last summer, I was freshly divorced. I had to move into a shoebox sized apartment where I fed myself a steady diet of ramen noodles, Captain Crunch, heavy imperial stouts, and copious amounts of sour candy….usually fueled by alcohol driven hunger and a new little appetite tweaker I discovered…cannabis and the munchies.

Wedding: Eat Cake & Dance

All of our photos were taken by Sarah Cramer Shields of Cramer Photo. Follow her online and on Instagram ! After dinner we had cake! The Clifton Inn’s pastry chef made our cake and designed the textured frosting look, and our florist decorated it with the flowers. I had hoped to use the wood slice I bought as the base, but when it arrived I knew it would be too small, so it held the servers instead! There were two flavors: vanilla with passionfruit curd and vanilla custard and chocolate with ganache. I tried both and they were both fab! We went right into our first dance to You Are The Best Thing by Ray Lamontagne. The lyrics fit us so perfectly. We did the father + daughter and mother + son dance to Kokomo by the Beach Boys! Thomas and his mom stole the show with their dolphin impressions! And finally, Mazen and I had a special dance to One Direction’s Infinity , which we love to dance to at home. Thomas LOVES to dance at weddings, and so having a good D

5 for Friday

Good morning and happy FRIYAY to you! So, I thought this new “ 5 for Friday ” blog post idea would make a fun feature on CNC. It seems like a great way to round-up the week with little tidbits about what’s happening on the family front as well as sharing some of my “Friday favorites” and “What I’m Loving Lately.” It’s like the best of both worlds! FAMILY – So many Halloween costumes, so little time!  We’re getting really excited for Halloween and have been talking about Quinn’s costume non-stop for weeks now. Up until last week, he wanted to be a ghost like last year . Then, he switched his costume to a bat. The bat idea actually stuck around for awhile, but, just yesterday, he changed his mind to vampire. He’s obsessed with all things “creepy,” so we’ll see what he ultimately picks. We actually might hit up our local party/Halloween store this weekend, so I’ll let you guys know what he picks! FITNESS – My beloved Ghost Crops are now available in a new pattern! I love these
